Too Tight after two months???



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!!its been a LONG while since I have posted. I had surgury 3-7-08 coming up on my one year anniversary and I am down 149 pounds. I am now what my doctor calls the "maint. stage" mainly because I lost most of my weight in the first 7-8 months. I think the last 15 or so I can do with just working out. ANYWAY here is my question the last 2 or 3 fills I had alot of trouble. I was too tight got dehydrated and had to be admitted(Fluid removed) then next fill same thing..got sick once (fluid removed) my doctor and I decided that since my weight was satisfactory for me that we would not add any more Fluid UNLESS I needed it....that was umm like 2-3 months ago. Now all of a sudden I cant keep solids mushy or otherwise down. Even liquid only sits for a while then has to come up. Tea has been ok but I am DYING for a glass of water! Has anyone heard of all of a sudden after soooo long getting too tight?? I should also mention that I had a bout with the stomach flu and I was thinking that maybe thats where the swelling started and now thats why I am too tight? I can't think of anything else. But I haven't eaten anything solid in over a week!! any ideas? I do have an appt tomorow but I just thought I wold ask if anyone has had the same prob!. thanks!!

It does sound like the stomach flu caused inflammation. Talk to your doctor, because it sounds like you should get an unfill until the swelling goes down. He/she will make sure to keep your best interests at heart. You are a success story and everyone loves that!

Congratulations on the great work and I hope you feel better soon. Please update after you see the doctor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
